He didn't catch it. Doesn't matter if he spazzed on it or it moved slightly and hit the ground... he didn't make the play. He's a RD5 draft pick that doesn't have any elite qualities.. If he wants to be anything more than a depth WR/fringe roster player.. he has to make those plays - both in games and in practice.

Welp.. Glad I like our OL at the other 4 spots, because RT is looking like an adventure. Not a good sign, and sad because it sounds like he was pretty good today too.

He has to be able to block, somewhat, otherwise he's just a really big, slow slot WR. Now maybe he's so good that he's Travis Kelce-esque in the slot and it doesn't matter if teams treat him as such... but I think the conversation Jeremy White had yesterday about the failure of Ertz/Goedert in Philly is at least a worthwhile discussion.

Not the worst thing for a WR5 - 2nd year RD5 pick, but he's starting to come across as an ok depth WR. Can get open at a decent clip, but just doesn't make the big play. Had a chance to make a huge play in the playoffs... dropped it. Similar themes recurring in camp. Hope he can get over the hump, but the reports I'm reading, don't give me a ton of confidence in Shakir as starting slot. Harty has elite speed. Sherfield is an elite blocker. Shakir comes across as the Devin Singletary of WR's so far...

I have NFLN on at the office, and I'm pretty sure that play happened live, right behind their set up.

I think Hamlin would get signed to a 53 elsewhere if we cut him. Most teams don’t have Hyde, Poyer and Rapp taking up 3 of 4 spots. I don’t envy Beane and company on cutdown day..

A nominee respond to a hypothetical. How dare he! Calm down. I’m glad you are forced to root for Nick Bosa.

In regards to Edmunds and the style of Defense we now play under McDermott.. All we hear about is the aggressive nature of the Defense. The blitzing, disguised pressure, odd fronts etc., for as much of a unicorn as Edmunds is, he had very real weaknesses, and I'm not even sure how he fits in an attacking defense due to his main strength being as a zone coverage linebacker that occupies space and disrupts throwing lanes. He wasn't a good blitzer, didn't read the run very well, struggled shedding blocks and could be mismatched when forced into man coverage. Whether it's Dodson or Bernard, with Rapp potentially rotating in for Dime looks.. they both have very different strengths than Edmunds, and at a fraction of the cost/investment, become cogs on the defense and not focal points. Thus allowing other positions to take on heavier roles in a different style of defense.

Normies are the vast majority of the public that don’t pay much attention to politics until it directly starts to affect them.

That won’t happen. All that happens is geriatric puppet Biden will win, and will appoint more Orwellian lib judges and justices and things get worse. And normies may start to wake up … but Republicans, with no power, because Trump kills everyone down ballot, will just issue strongly worded statements on our behalf.

I shouldn’t be. I, along with most here, have wanted DeSantis from jump. There’s an entire thread on this. It’s not my fault that you can’t defend your party anymore, so everyone is now Trump supporters, including those of us who support DeSantis, because “actually” let me guess … he’s even worse than Trump.

The red X is because those weren’t his only advisors. His VP was Pence, he best bud is Lindsey Graham, and Trump … for all the “drain the swamp” rhetoric, ended up relying on many of those same people to shape policy and determine his actions.

You have nothing. It’s the same thing, every time. tRuMpeRs I would LOVE for Trump to bow out of the R primary. Please… let us have DeSantis. Doesn’t change the fact that we now have a weaponized justice system and that should be called out, and fought back against, with every fiber of our beings. You now support a party that used the justice system to attack its political opponents and engages in the policing of speech … this all coming after your party advocated for extended lockdowns and vaccine mandates. But, please, tell us all how you’re the “good guys” and everyone else, because you have nothing to defend, is a “Trump supporter”… even those of us, apparently, who don’t support Trump.

Explain. Because I’m guessing you’re going to say something, something, Trump supporters … even though most right leaning people on the OT Board don’t want Trump to be the Republican nominee.

Every post of yours is based in obedience and compliance to your masters. I’ve barely interacted with you, and it’s already tiresome to read your posts in-between your licking of boots. Believe it or not, but those in power don’t always tell the truth .. and they don’t always know better than us.

I believe he was likely counseled to respect norms and not go after his political adversaries. Just like how he could’ve pardoned all involved in J6 proceedings, yet was counseled against it. I don’t believe Trump realized what he was up against, and for as arrogant as he comes off.. I believe, even he, is shocked that this happening.

Agreed. Trump certainly didn’t do himself any favors, and in knowing they wanted to come after him, seemed to do everything in his power to ensure they would. Mainly due to his brazen incompetence. However, to see Biden lie about his involvement in his sons foreign business dealings, to see Adam Schiff mislead the public for years, to see Intel officials lie in order to affect an election, to see social media companies pressured to censor content that could affect an election, to see Hillary Clinton do much of the same stuff Trump has done - both with documents and election denial - and then see this ultra-aggressive attempt to take down one man for sins committed by many is Black Mirror territory …. And I don’t know how we come back from this.

If we're being honest, the Bills played terrible in every game after the Damar Hamlin injury. The worst of the 3 games being our pathetic performance against the Bengals, who - it didn't help - are on another level from the Pats and Tua-less Dolphins and took further advantage of us being a shell of ourselves.

Do you believe, after all these indictments of Trump, that Hillary Clinton should not have faced indictments as well? Do you believe, after Jack Smith files indictments alleging “disregarding the truth”, that Adam Schiff should get off with no repercussions, when he - along with former Intel officials - knowingly pushed a false story (Intel officials again with the Biden laptop story) to take down a President and/or affect an election?

If this is where we’re at, so be it…. This needs to be investigated and Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff etc., should face potential prison time.

Mitch Morse is 31 and Dion Dawkins is 29. The best OL for the Fins is 32 (Armstead). Best OL for the Chiefs is 30 (Thuney). If you want to talk about Morse injury history.. valid. We are not old on Offense. Year 2 RB1 and two veterans. Top 6 OL are the listed above Dawkins/Morse, along with Brown and Torrence on rookie contracts and McGovern/Bates entering their "prime" years. Diggs will be 30 this Fall, but I don't think anyone is worried about his age right now. Davis/Shakir/Shorter on rookie contracts. Harty is 25 and Sherfield is 27. Knox just entering his prime and Kincaid is a rookie. Josh Allen is 27. ------------- Yes, on Defense, I agree. Our defense is depending on some older guys/guys coming off injury, in Von - Hyde - Poyer - White. Those are 4 key guys that likely determine whether or not this defense is "elite".

Tough situation.. Early still, but it does seem like if we're going with the best players for the 53, Hyde, Poyer and Rapp are locks, with Lewis in the top spot for Safety 4.

Pat McAfee usually sides with players … interesting that he doesn’t seem sold on Taylor. I’ll be honest, his decision to hire that agent would be an extreme red flag for me in building a team and I agree with Lombardi saying he should just come in for treatment and go home.

Seems noteworthy..

Where I’ll admit Dems are smarter is that they don’t have faith that their overstep can backfire. … and they’re likely correct. The way this backfires is if they actually get Trump out of the race and have to face DeSantis. That’s when you could get an AG Cruz. Luckily for you, half of the Republican base is absolutely ridiculous and will save you from that reality. You’ll get a wounded Trump, with no money, and your geriatric authoritarian puppet gets 4 more years.
